Tottenham vs Wolves: Prediction, live stream, team news, predicated lineups

Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 29, 2024, is highly anticipated as both teams navigate contrasting trajectories. Tottenham's recent form has been troubling, with four losses in their last five league matches, which places them under significant pressure to secure a victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium . In contrast, Wolves enter this fixture buoyed by a two-game winning streak under new manager Vítor Pereira. The match is set to kick off at 3 PM BST; however, it will not be televised live in the UK .

Tottenham Hotspur meantime are in desperate need of victory, kicking off 11th, 13 points worse off than at this stage a year ago. On Boxing Day, Ange Postecoglou's team were beaten once again, this time defeated 1-0 at the City Ground by Nottingham Forest. As a result, Spurs have now lost four of their last five league outings, their sole league victory of December, in six attempts, coming against bottom of the table Southampton.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Forster; Porro, Gray, Dorrington, Udogie; Bergvall, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Solanke

Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup: Sa; Doherty, S. Bueno, Toti; Semedo, Andre, J. Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Guedes, Cunha; Larsen

Team news reveals a severe injury crisis for Tottenham. Key defenders such as Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are sidelined, alongside Ben Davies and other critical players. This situation necessitates unorthodox adjustments in defense; Bissouma and Gray may need to step into unfamiliar roles. On the other hand, Wolves also face injuries but have potential returns for players like Mario Lemina that could enhance their performance against a vulnerable Spurs defense . The predicted lineups suggest that Tottenham may field Forster in goal with Bentancur and Sarr anchoring midfield while Wolves are likely to adopt a 3-4-3 formation featuring Sa as goalkeeper.

Despite historical advantages favoring Tottenham—having won 52 of their encounters—Wolves have triumphed in their last three meetings against Spurs . This trend raises questions about Tottenham's ability to overcome current adversities. Predictions lean toward a Wolves victory due to Spurs' defensive frailties; analysts forecast a potential scoreline of 3-1 in favor of Wolves . As both teams prepare for this crucial match-up amidst injury woes and fluctuating form, the outcome remains uncertain but pivotal for both clubs' seasons.
